I think the names listed for this town in Mandarin Chinese (眞新鎮/真新镇) would mean along the lines of "Truly New Town".

Professor Oak in the anime is stated that two other trainers took Charmander and Bulbasuar. Gary was shown to have gotten squirtle in the anime, and Ash got Pikachu.

I thought I was going crazy, so I decided to fish some more (still using the old rod) and caught a few level 5 Magikarps and two Magikarp at level 6. So I decided to check out what Bulbapedia said about fishing in Pallet Town. It is listed that only level 5 Magikarp can be caught with the old rod. I Google searched "Pallet Town fishing in LeafGreen" and found one site that said Magikarp above level 5 can be found with the old rod. So, I am asking for this to be verified and then changed on the Pallet Town page. --[[User:Cyalknight|Cyal (LeafGreen&#38;Emerald)]] ([[User talk:Cyalknight|talk]]) 23:03, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

Pokemon Pinball

In the first Pinball game Bulbasaur, Charmander, Pidgey, Rattata, Nidoran (Male), Poliwag and Tentacool can be caught in Pallet Town, in the Red Zone, I believe this should be in the article, but I don't know where. Any suggestions, or is it to petty? --Spriteit 13:23, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
